911 calls released after police car crashes into home

Louisville Metro Police have released the frantic calls made to 911 dispatchers after an officer's cruiser smashed into a home in south Louisville.

The crash happened last Tuesday in the 6300 block of Outer Loop.

The family is still without a home following the crash, and are now living out of an extended stay hotel while the investigation into what happened continues.

Tense moments were heard in 911 calls made last Tuesday by those on the outside of the home, as well as those who were inside it.

Brooke Basham, as well as her younger sister and brother, were tossed around when the police car smashed into their home.

"I was screaming, that's all I know," Basham said after the crash.

Almost a week later, that's about all Basham remembers about her call for help.

Police said Officer Kenneth Angelini was responding to a call when a truck pulled out in front of him on Outer Loop.

Police said when he swerved to miss it, he lost control and ended up hitting the home.

"We don't have out clothes. You can't get into the house. It's condemned," said Sheree May, who also lived in the home.

"We're here for a week that we know of. We don't know what happens after that," said May. "It's been a nightmare. Everything's out of sorts. It's just moving around in a fog, going where you're told to go, doing what you're told to do."

Still, May said she's grateful what happened to her home didn't turn out worse for her children who were in it.

"Getting back into the house will be wonderful, but we're just thankful the officer is OK, from what we understand, and my kids are OK," said May.

May says her teenager daughter, who was inside the home, will likely need some more X-rays and physical therapy.

Police said the officer is doing OK.
